Christmas Vacation Crafts

The boys were a little bored over the holidays so we decided to make a paper mache volcano.  It took a few days of course as we had to cover the paper and then paint it.  The boys were not happy having to wait 24 hours for it to dry.

 Although we painted it black, the 'paste' combined with the paint turned everything the grey color.  Then the instructions told us to add food colouring and dish soap to the vinegar and baking soda.  I had never added dish soap and love the 'thick' lava that ensued.

 As you can tell, Nathan loved it!
